This is my first post to this forum, please scold me if I am ignorant in the structure of my posting.
I have not listen to Joni in over 15 years, too busy with climbing the ladder. I recently quit my job, totally burned out, and extorted enough funds from the Spanish Inquisition to support me for a couple of years. Joni was the only person I have ever been a "fan" of. Wrote one "adoring kitty mode" letter to her in my freshman year in college. I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here but after rediscovering "Blue", "For the Roses" and "Court & Spark" and even the uneven "Miles of Aisles" I am enthralled anew. What great musical poetry. What feeling. I know her latest efforts and comments seem a little spastic and "marketing" but let's recognize the greatest verbalization of the human condition that anyone has ever made.
